JVC KD-SH1000 manual General

ENGLISH

General

•This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/ CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA) and MP3/WMA format; MP3/WMA files recorded in an SD card or a USB memory.

•While playing an audio CD: If a title has been assigned to the audio CD (see page 23), it will be shown on the display.

•While fast-forwarding or reversing an MP3/ WMA track, you can only hear intermittent sounds.

Inserting a disc

•When a disc is inserted upside down, the control panel moves down, and the disc automatically ejects from the loading slot.

•If you keep the control panel open for about 1 minute, (beeps sound when the “Beep” setting is turned “On”—see page 21) the control panel returns to its previous position.

•Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CD) and unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into the loading slot.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

•Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

•This unit can play back only files of the same type which are first detected if a disc includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/ WMA files.

•This unit can play back multi-session discs; however, unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.

•Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, or for the following reasons:

–Discs are dirty or scratched.

–Moisture condensation occurs on the lens inside the unit.

–The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.

–CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are written with “Packet Write” method.

–There are improper recording conditions (missing data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched, warped, etc.).

•CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.

•Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:

–Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal stuck to the surface.

–Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an ink jet printer.

Using these discs under high temperatures or high humidities may cause malfunctions or damage to the unit.

•The maximum number of characters for file/ folder names vary among the disc format used (includes 4 extension characters—<.mp3> or <.wma>).

–ISO 9660 Level 1: up to 12 characters

–Romeo*: up to 128 (72) characters

Files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy in elapsed time display, and do not show the actual elapsed time. Especially, after performing the search function, this difference becomes noticeable.
